Another Gatefold Card :)

Hi! Yes, it's late and I'm still up. I wanted to get something new posted so it doesn't end up being another week between postings. My LSU Tigers had bad weather in Omaha this evening so they haven't finished their game yet.

These gatefold cards are so much fun to make. With the Score Pal it's really easy too because the markings for the score lines are already where they need to be....so easy! For this one I used the Froggie and Friends set by CC Designs, you can find it here: http://www.allthatscraps.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=650_673. I used Basic Grey papers from the Dasher line and the green is from Making Memories. I also used some handmade paper for the lily pad and cattails. The froggies are pop-dotted for dimension and I distressed the edges of all the papers. Coloring was done with prismacolor and Koh-I-Noor pencils and mineral spirits.

I love to decorate the inside of these cards too so I put a cattail and another leaping froggie inside. If you haven't tried a gatefold card, just do it! I think you'll love it!

I grew up in Louisiana, and am now living in Ridgeland, MS. Growing up in Louisiana, "Lagniappe" was defined to me as "a little something extra". That's not the exact dictionary definition, but it will always be just that to me. I want my blog to be just that for you!
I am an LSU Tiger at heart, and my youngest daughter is now a Tiger. My son goes to school at the University of Montana, so I cheer for the Grizzlies as well!
